For those of you who were not in Elementary School in the late 1990s, Jeremy Weate was the equivilent of Bill Nye the Science Guy for philosophy, through his much read book "A Young Persons Guide to Philosophy." I have recently begun frequenting his blog, http://naijablog.blogspot.com which features discusion of philosophy and everyday life in Nigeria. One of his first posts, on combating the new anti-humanism, was brilliant.

His book was doubtless more famous than his name.

What's the philosophy equivalent of drinking a glass of plankton?

Not quite the same as, say, eating that picture.
